"Basil Jet" wrote in message ... http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013...ef=mostpopular Watching the video I don't think anyone comes out of it very well. Quite why the camera operator kept filming instead of evacuating I don't know. The staff appear (stress - appear) to be running around not really knowing what to do. And what the woman who climbed out thought she was going to achieve is beyond me. |

Well, it's rather a good job he did, because it provides evidence of what happened and how people responded. The staff appear (stress - appear) to be running around not really knowing what to do. And what the woman who climbed out thought she was going to achieve is beyond me. She was on a train that she believed was on fire (apparently) and the doors were jammed shut. What would you have done, I wonder? -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." |

What would you have done, I wonder? Ironically, they were 'jammed shut' as a safety precaution, as the train was partly in tunnel. |

Two girls were pushing it without lifting the cover. |
